EMG Les Claypool Signature Pachyderm Gold P Bass Pickup

The EMG Les Claypool Signature Pachyderm Gold P Bass pickup set pairs a custom version of the EMG PA with a new brushed gold cover. This design brings a new aesthetic to the tried and true EMG formula and defies the laws of the traditional P. Having spent decades as an EMG artist, Claypool has experimented with a multitude of EMG bass products from soapbars to the various P Bass models. Over the years, he found himself coming back to the EMG PA time after time. In order to solidify his funky tone, the original PA laid the groundwork for his new signature design.

The Les Claypool “Pachyderm Gold” PA is a standard 4-string P-bass pickup size and utilizes Alnico 5 magnets. Short, squat coils give this P pickup a warm and rich tone without any unwanted noise, so you can rumble like a southbound pachyderm headed for the seas of cheese. The set includes the EMG solderless wiring kit containing the pots and components necessary for the classic P Bass configuration, making at-home installation a breeze.
